Extremely Disappointed!!!

In town on business, wanted good meal instead of fast/chain food. Arrived for dinner solo, restaurant was somewhat busy for a Thursday night. Ordered Guava Rum Drink, was very good. The zucchini crab cake tasted good but had too much cartilage in it. Then I ordered the rib eye, medium rare, it came with fries and a balsamic glaze. I ordered a glass of wine with the steak. An hour after I arrived the rib eye came out looking great, smelled great, unfortunately it was medium well. I ordered medium rare. It was late and I was hungry so I told the waiter when he finally came over to check on me that I wasn’t happy, but was going to eat it because it had taken so long and I was hungry. He said it would only take a few minutes and he’d rather it be replaced. 15 minutes later a second rib eye came out, I was angry by now. The second one was still over cooked, and the piece of meat had more fat and just wasn’t as good as the first would have been if it were cooked correctly. Four items, a $38 piece of meat which twice couldn’t be cooked medium rare and a bill with 15% tip…$88.61. I was NOT happy. I don’t mind spending the money on a great steak, here even a good one should have been received. I could have been happier if the server’s tone was one of more understanding. He said he’d tell the manager, but didn’t. I’m glad I’m from out of town because this was so NOT what is a good restaurant.

Dishes Tried:

Rib Eye

Ordered Medium rare, the first came out medium well, the second medium. Not good.

Delicious

I had a business dinner here and the food was outstanding. The seafood was really fresh and the pasta tasted like it was just made in the kitchen. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was very pleasant. Expensive but worth it.
